We must live in regions with different levels of chocolate fervency.

How about not drinking? Why don't you drink? Are you sure you don't want to drink? Do you think you're better than us? What about this kind of drink? Have you tried it? No, that's not a very good example, because there are known groups of people who do not drink for various reasons and it's considered bad form to nag them about it.

Maybe coffee? I have never, ever felt oppressed because I don't like coffee, but I have felt awkward when I'm the only one who says "no thanks", and the host keeps asking me if I'm sure I don't want coffee -- tea? No, not that either...

Maybe compare it to people who don't like animals? Everyone is there gushing over the cute kitten, and someone just wants them to shut up about it already...

The person who just doesn't like a popular fandom?

It's not oppression, of course it's not oppression, but it's not an imaginary problem either.

I don't drink, and I've spent half my life putting up with people who try to get me to drink. People make a big deal out of it because you're not like them and they assume you really do want to be like them. Personally, I don't give a fuck if you drink alcohol or don't want to have sex, or you love to eat onions... just don't try and get me to do it, because I sure as hell don't want to if you keep going on about it to me.

Not oppression, but fucking annoying.

I totally understand that it would be deeply annoying, and I absolutely sympathise.

Talking about "coming out" as asexual is fucking obnoxious though.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I can understand why it's obnoxious, but in the world at large people do talk about "coming out" as practically anything -- Packers fans, various political affiliations, a cat person, vampires, WHATEVER.

Oh God, the drinking part is so true. I used to drink a lot, then decided to stop. Now people I considered friends give me shit, that I was better when I drank. They don't give me any real reasons why I was better, they don't say what exactly is now "worse" about me, nothing, they just bitch and make me feel like shit.

But that's not the worst part. I quit eating products with sugar in them for health reasons, and now I have a friend WHO BITCHES ABOUT THAT. I guess I need new friends.

Sorry, just needed to vent.
